Club Bahia, a Latin nightclub on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, rents its main room for corporate events, holiday parties, wedding receptions, private concerts and film shoots for up to 400 guests. The official site gives 6,400 square feet, a 24-foot proscenium stage with sound and lighting, two bars and a full commercial kitchen. The club has operated since 1974, two minutes from Downtown LA.
Seminars and company events
The corporate page lists gatherings, product launches, TV shoots and commercial photography. The main room is stated at 220 seated and 350 standing. The stage has professional sound and lighting, so a launch, an awards evening or a staff party with live acts works well. Loading is at ground level with direct alley access. A site visit can be requested through the corporate page. This is a nightclub, so expect a social format rather than a classroom setup, and the site does not mention meeting equipment such as screens.
Weddings and receptions
Wedding receptions are listed among the private events, along with anniversaries, birthdays and private concerts. The club offers in-house catering, full bar programs, a dedicated event coordinator and entertainment ranging from a DJ to a live salsa orchestra, mariachi or dancers. Quinceañeras and anniversaries have their own page on the site.
Rooms and capacities
The private events page gives up to 400 standing and 250 seated. The corporate page gives 220 seated and 350 standing for the main room, so confirm the figure for your layout with the team. Three formats are published. Fiesta suits 25 to 60 guests, with a reserved lounge area, a bottle service package, a DJ and a three-hour rental. Havana suits 60 to 150 guests, with a half-venue buyout, dinner service, a live band or DJ and a four-hour rental. Legado suits 150 to 400 guests, with a full venue buyout, full catering, an open bar, a live Latin orchestra and a five-hour rental.
Catering
Catering is in house. The kitchen and bar draw on Caribbean and Latin American dishes, and the club lists signature cocktails, empanadas and bottle service. Full catering with open bar is part of the largest format, and dinner service is part of the mid-size one.
History and setting
Club Bahia opened in 1974 and describes itself as the longest-running Latin nightclub in Los Angeles. The site cites live salsa, bachata and reggaeton programming, and the room has served as a film and TV location with period detail and production access, including a green room.
